Enthroned: Above and Within

main image
 
The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
The Lord is great in Zion;
he is exalted over all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name!
Holy is he!

The King in his might loves justice.[a]
You have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the Lord our God;
worship at his footstool!
Holy is he!" - Psalm 99:1-5
 
Scripture is abundantly clear on the point of the Glory of God. He is glorious. He sits on his throne, ruling over everything, seen and unseen. He lacks nothing, needs nothing, misses nothing. He is the King. There is no debate. There is no wiggle room. It's not a matter of opinion or a point of decision. He simply IS God, glorious, transcendent, all-powerful, all-knowing. He is above all, in every possible way.
 
As a result, He deserves all of the affection and praises and obedience of every part of creation. In fact, He demands it. And so we, have a simple choice each and every moment of each and every day. We can enthrone him in our hearts in accordance with the TRUTH he has revealed about himself, or we can choose to rebel against his commands and his authority. 
 
The foolishness I reveal every time I make a choice contrary to God's authority is truly incredible. Every sinful thought, every rebellious deed is unthinkable in the grand scheme of things, but we all succumb to the myopic and fleshly perspectives that are contrary to the revealed TRUTH of the King seated on the throne.
 
This Sunday, as we gather, we'll seek to point our hearts to the majesty and glory of the King enthroned in heaven, and seek to remind ourselves of the mercy He has shown us in rescuing us from the deserved punishment for our rebellion. It's this combination of his mercy and his majesty that we will celebrate.
 
Here are the songs and Scriptures that will make up our service this week.
